Why Do I Need HOMELUX Waterproof Underlayment?

The damage caused by tiled areas that have not been sealed properly can be extensive and costly. Substrates such as wooden floors move with temperature change and pull the tiled area with them, expanding the floor at the weakest points. This will eventually cause cracks to appear in the grout joints and tiles, through which water can penetrate. Waterproof mortars, grouts and mastics will not necessarily be enough to maintain a watertight seal.

Ensures complete watertight protection, preventing the migration of vapor from the tile surface to the substrate

What Causes My Tile to Crack?

What is the Solution to STOP Tile From Cracking?

By installing a Homelux crack isolation mat, any cracks in the foundation are prevented from affecting the tile. The tile flooring is isolated from the foundation and thus remains undamaged. Tile can therefore even be laid on old or problematic foundations with no difficulty.

Prevents surface cracks caused by substrate movement

100% waterproof (when used in conjunction the joint tape)

Bridges cracks in substrate

Faster and easier installation with the wide clover leaf holes

Wide clover leaf holes mean more mortar in contact with the tile base

Better resistance on heated surfaces with rapid expansion and contraction
